Penultimate week of training

With less than 2 weeks to go before the 10k, not only are we really excited about collecting our sponsor money and receiving our race packs (pink t-shirts!), but we’re also trying to push ourselves that little bit further in the last full week of training.

In our penultimate group training session we took a different route and set ourselves the challenge of finishing 6 miles. Whether it was due to the nice weather, the good banter or the new scenic route, 6 miles seemed to pass before we realised it!

Running as a team, we split into sub-groups but we all managed to cover the distance without too much of a gap widening between each group – the important thing was we all found a pace we were comfortable with.

Head of Team Craigholme, our Maths teacher, also gave us a lot of useful information about what to do on race day so we thought we’d share it with everyone — eat a proper breakfast; make sure you have safety pins ready for your race numbers and above all, do not to wear any brand new clothes/trainers on the day!

See you all in 9 days!
